[2]I just bought a new camera and right now I am a little overwhelmed with all its new features, choices and controls. Thank goodness for the myriad photography guides [3]available at our branch or elsewhere in the HCPL system, including how-to manuals and DVDs, and even website suggestions [4] -- all to be found on the library catalog. While searching for some answers to my questions, I also came across these novels, movies and nonfiction books on the subject of photography and photographers.
